I'm Laura, Former Talent Acquisition Recruiter, coffee aficionado, dog lover, and wanna-be surfer.
I had my wake-up call in 2018. Sitting at my desk, I realized I was going through the motions – successful on paper, but something fundamental was missing.
That something was purpose.
After years in technical recruiting, I was good at my job, but I wasn’t fulfilled by it. I was chasing metrics instead of meaning, transactions instead of transformation.
Here’s what I discovered: The conversations that lit me up weren’t about filling positions – they were about helping women tell their stories, recognize their worth, and build careers that served their whole lives.
That revelation led me to become a career coach, but more importantly, it taught me something crucial about building a sustainable career: the work that fulfills you today should set the foundation for a life you love tomorrow.
The Three Pillars That Guide My Coaching
Through my own transition and working with hundreds of women, I’ve learned that lasting career satisfaction rests on three pillars:
PURPOSE – Work that energizes rather than drains you
COMMUNITY – Relationships that sustain and inspire your journey
MOBILITY – The freedom to evolve. Careers and life priorities shift. We build a foundation designed to move with you.”
These aren’t just career concepts – they’re life principles. They matter when you’re 35 and climbing the ladder, when you’re 45 and questioning direction, and when you’re 55 and thinking about what comes next.
My Coaching Style
I bring 23+ years of recruiting experience, insider knowledge of what employers really want, and the wisdom that comes from my own career transformation. But more than that, I bring the understanding that your career should serve your life, not consume it.
Whether we’re working together in my office, taking a walking session through San Diego’s beautiful parks, or connecting virtually, our conversations will be honest, strategic, and grounded in what matters most to you.
My promise: To help you build not just your next role, but a career foundation that supports the life you want to create.
As a Professional Development Career Coach, I help women build careers grounded in purpose, supported by meaningful community, and designed with the mobility to evolve – because the work that fulfills you today should set the foundation for a life you love tomorrow.
My job is to create your unique personal brand, which tells the story of your professional development, so that you stand out in the sea of applicants and hiring managers are eager to hire you.
